Ukraine hits bridge linking Crimea to Russia with underwater explosives
The Guardian ^ | 3 June 2025 | Owen Amos and Jemma Crew

Ukraine has detonated a massive underwater blast targeting the key road and rail bridge connecting the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula to Russia, damaging its underwater supports.

The operation, claimed by Kyiv’s SBU security service, is the second high-profile operation by Ukraine in days striking significant Russian assets after a sophisticated drone raid on Moscow’s strategic bomber fleet on Sunday.

The attack came as Ukraine confirmed it had been invited to the Nato summit later this month, after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned it would be a “victory” for Russia if it was not present.

The latest strike on the 12-mile-long Kerch bridge – a prestige project of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, which he opened in 2018 – comes amid what appear to be determined efforts by Ukraine to change the narrative promoted by the Trump administration that Kyiv holds few cards in the war.

The mining of the bridge, which is heavily defended by Russian forces, follows the audacious long-range drone attack on airbases deep in side Russia, which Zelenskyy claimed had damaged “34% of [Russia’s] strategic cruise missile carriers”.

There were no bio labs.

Did you notice that after Muscowy grabbed much of eastern Ukraine, it stopped talking about bio labs because it didn’t have any evidence about them, despite claiming them to be in that area.

Bio labs was a complete lie by Putin that a lot of gullible people in the West believed, and going by your question, still believe with no proof

And no, Nuland was a loudmouth who cursed the EU, but didn’t organize anything.

“8000 civilians”?!?

Eben the Donetsk people’s republic and luhansk people’s republic regimes don’t make that claim.

You do realize that you are repeating lies, don’t you?
